There is endless darkness without a trace of light, and time seems to become hazy, as if thousands of years have flowed by in every moment.
Shi Mu suddenly opened his eyes, as if waking up from a nightmare.
He tried to move his body, but his whole body refused to obey him at all. A sharp pain came from all over his body. His throat felt so sweet that he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. He was so frightened that he quickly gave up trying.
Shi Mu looked around, only to see darkness where he entered. Feeling the touch of his body, he found that the surrounding area was surrounded by vast sea water.
"seabed?"
Shi Mu was startled, his eyes faintly golden, and everything in front of him suddenly became clear.
He is indeed lying on the seabed at the moment, surrounded by some strange coral trees, some shaped like cattail fans, some as flat as millstones, colorful, shining with strange brilliance in the swaying sea water, and occasionally there are some brightly colored small ones.
Fish gather in groups and swim leisurely among the corals.
Shi Mu frowned, feeling a little weird in his heart.
At this moment, a shadow in the water ahead swam towards us very quickly.
It was a gray sea beast, its appearance was quite similar to that of a shark, its body was four to five feet long, its head was cone-shaped, and its mouth was full of sword-like sharp teeth. It looked quite ferocious.
Shi Mu was shocked. He saw that the direction of the sea beast's movement was heading towards him. Although the sea beast was not too strong, he could not move at all at this moment, and his heart could not help but beat wildly.
The gray sea monster quickly approached, and Shi Mu tried his best to mobilize the energy and mana in his body, but at this moment, the energy and mana in his body were almost exhausted, and his exercise skills were useless.
However, just when Shi Mu was feeling frightened, the gray sea monster figure passed by Shi Mu's head leisurely, as if he didn't see Shi Mu who was so close, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Shi Mu was startled and looked towards him, his eyes suddenly lit up.
I saw that his body was covered by a transparent spherical light curtain. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all.
The chest area felt slightly warm, and the source of the light curtain seemed to be there.
Shi Mu adjusted his breath briefly, and after regaining some strength, he raised his hand with difficulty, moved it to his chest with difficulty, fumbled for a while, and took it out. In his palm was a blue bead, which was the clam bead given by Xiangzhu.
.
He glanced at the clam bead a few times, and a flash of realization flashed in his heart. The sea monster didn't notice him, and that must be the role of the clam bead.
Understanding the function of this clam bead, Shi Mu felt relieved and put it back into his chest again.
He looked around, his eyes a little dazed. At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts. He only remembered what happened before he was injured by the giant octopus sea beast and fell into coma just after escaping from the giant ship in the vast sea. His memory after that was a little blurry.
He vaguely remembered that at the last moment, he transformed into a white ape again and had a bloody fight with the octopus and sea beast in the sea, and then he was seriously injured and fell into coma again.
However, after he fell into coma, he had a dream. In the dream, he transformed into a white ape and was chased by an old Taoist in Chu robe, and almost died.
"What does that dream represent?" Shi Mu's eyes flashed and he started thinking.
"By the way, the old Taoist's mount is a nine-headed golden dragon. Last time, I dreamed that the white ape killed a nine-headed golden dragon in the sea. The old Taoist's mount was much smaller. Could it be that between these two dreams?
What's wrong? And that golden tome, could it be..." Shi Mu thought wildly.
Regarding the mystery of the white ape's memory, when I arrive at Xihe Continent and find Lingtian Peak, I may be able to find some answers.
Also, there should be many secrets contained in the Nine Transformations Mysterious Art of extraordinary origin.
Thinking of this, Shi Mu couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart.
After a moment, he shook his head and put these thoughts aside for the time being.
The most urgent task now is to regain your strength and leave here first.
Shi Mu calmed down his ups and downs, sat cross-legged against a coral tree, took out a recovery pill and a healing pill, drank them, closed his eyes and started practicing.
The power of the medicine was released, and the true energy in his body gradually grew.
After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes again. Half of the energy in his body had recovered, and a lot of the injuries all over his body had also recovered.
Shi Mu waved his hand, and a long green shuttle appeared under him, carrying him upwards.
After a moment, there was a "crash" and he flew out of the water.
It is surrounded by vast seas, but not far away is the horizon of the Saiga continent, and it seems that it is not far away.
Shi Mu felt happy and activated the long blue shuttle to fly towards there.
At this moment, a cry came from behind, and a colorful shadow chased up from mid-air.
"Stone, wait for me!" came a familiar voice.
Shi Mu stopped the jade shuttle, and the colorful shadow quickly approached, it was Cai'er.
"Shitou, you're finally awake! You really managed to sleep this time. It took three days and three nights to wake up." Cai'er landed on Shi Mu's shoulder and said breathlessly.
"So, you have been waiting here for me?" Shi Mu asked.
"Although I can see your situation at the bottom of the sea, I can't get into the water, so I can only wait for you outside." Cai'er muttered.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and at this moment he had basically remembered the situation before he fell into coma. He had been in coma for an unknown period of time, and only Cai'er was still here waiting for him, which made him feel a little touched.
"Stone, how did you turn into that white gorilla that day? Was it because of the barbarian totem secret technique you practiced?" Cai'er asked curiously.
"It's not because of the totem secret technique. In fact, I'm not too clear about this matter. I also transformed into a white ape once a long time ago." Shi Mu hesitated for a moment, then related his previous experience of becoming a white ape, and
I briefly talked about my frequent dreams about white apes.
Cai'er seems to be just an ordinary parrot, but its actual age is much older than Shi Mu. Before being summoned by Master Ju, Cai'er seemed to have been summoned by others before.
Shi Mu only learned about these things recently.
"Cai'er, aren't you bragging that you are well-informed, but do you know why this happened to me?" Shi Mu asked.
"Oh, this is quite rare. Based on my many years of experience, your situation is somewhat similar to being possessed by a demon spirit." Cai'er thought for a moment and said.
"What is this when possessed by a demon soul?" Shi Mu was startled.
"Well, how should I put it? You think it is similar to the situation of the barbarians sealing the beast soul. I only heard a master mention it once by chance before, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. But there should be something on you, and it is similar to that
It has something to do with gorillas," Cai'er said.
"Perhaps it is possible that this is the situation you mentioned. In fact, I would like to go to Saiga Continent this time. In addition to avoiding the heavenly killing order, I also have a hunch in my heart that Saiga Continent is the key to solving the mystery of the White Ape's dream.
The key." Shi Mu nodded slightly and said.
"That's it. By the way, the gorilla you became is really powerful, and you actually beat away the big octopus! Let's go to Xihe Continent quickly!" Cai'er said impatiently.
Shi Mu nodded, and the jade shuttle under his body lit up with green light, and flew towards the coastline where there was still a black line in the distance.
"By the way, what happened to the people in Liu'an after I fell into coma?" While fleeing, Shi Mu suddenly remembered something and asked.
"As soon as those guys saw you holding down that octopus and sea beast, they immediately turned around and left without helping you. They are really a bunch of despicable people!" Cai'er said angrily.
Shi Mu's eyes moved, and then he chuckled.
"By the way, do Liu An and the others know that the white ape is my incarnation?" He raised his eyebrows and thought of something.
"No, they thought the white ape appeared suddenly. After the ship you were on was sunk, the situation was very chaotic and everyone was too distracted. Liu An and the others thought you were dead," Cai'er said.
"That's good, it's just a good opportunity to get rid of Liu An's entanglement." Shi Mu relaxed and nodded.
After flying like this for more than two hours, Shi Mu finally arrived at the coastline and officially set foot on the land of Xihe Continent.
Shi Mu stood on the light yellow sand by the coast and glanced around.
Not far from here, there is an extremely dense and huge forest. Most of the species are new to him. Moreover, the vegetation and trees here are extremely tall, which is quite similar to the dense forest environment in Warrior's Gate.
In the sky, a scorching sun shines across the sky, emitting hot and dazzling light.
The sea breeze blows, and the leaves make a crisp rustling sound.
Shi Mu closed his eyes, raised his head and took a deep breath, feeling relieved physically and mentally.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in the air here is extremely rich, far above the Dongzhou Continent.
"What a treasure land! This place looks like an uncultivated land, and it should contain more resources than the Dongzhou continent. No wonder the Ming Yue Sect wants to move here." Shi Mu opened his eyes and said.
Cai'er also nodded repeatedly and looked around curiously.
Shi Mu glanced around a few times. Although he wanted to explore this continent immediately, now was not the time.
He walked toward the forest above the sea and sat cross-legged under a towering tree.
"Cai'er, please be vigilant about the surrounding situation for me." Shi Mu shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and said to Cai'er.
Cai'er agreed, flew down on the giant tree above Shi Mu's head, and looked around.
Shi Mu took out another recovery pill and took it, silently running the technique.
Half a day passed in a blink of an eye. Shi Mu opened his eyes, and there seemed to be two cold lights shooting out of his eyes.
He stood up with his sleeves rolled up, a smile on his face.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is rich. It only took half a day for the true energy and magic power in the body to return to their peak, and the injuries on the body were completely healed.
"Shitou, are you all ready?" Cai'er fell down.
"Let's go, let's explore this new continent!" Shi Mu nodded, looked deep into the woods, and said with great enthusiasm.
Cai'er also screamed excitedly a few times, spread her wings and flew up again, circling and dancing happily around Shi Mu. (To be continued.)
